④ Tin plating, these tests can be carried out in cold chamber & we can put in hand tests almost immediately
⑤ Pressure form of Ring in order to get better pressure at the tips
⑥ Effect of skirt flexibility on bore wear & oil consumption.

In connection with these tests we require further information such as
① Best tackle for measuring blow-by
② The roller ring gauge adapting in such a way as to enable us to find the pressure pattern most suited for our job.
③ Further information on tin plating, if Fenn of Birmingham Alum Co. is at Show he may be able to give us the necessary information on this point.
